Chapter 1

(top)

HAG 1:1

(top)

In the second year

of Darius the king,

in the sixth month,

in the first day

of the month,

came the word

of the LORD

by Haggai the prophet

unto Zerubbabel

the son

of Shealtiel,

governor

of Judah,

and

to Joshua

the son

of Josedech,

the high priest,

saying,

(top)

HAG 1:2

(top)

Thus

speaketh

the LORD

of hosts,

saying,

This people say,

The time

is not come,

the time

that the LORD's house

should be built.

(top)

HAG 1:3

(top)

Then came

the word

of the LORD

by Haggai the prophet,

saying,

(top)

HAG 1:4

(top)

Is it

time for you,

O ye,

to dwell

in your cieled houses,

and this house lie waste?

(top)

HAG 1:5

(top)

Now therefore thus

saith the LORD

of hosts;

Consider your ways.

(top)

HAG 1:6

(top)

Ye have sown much,

and bring in little;

ye eat,

but

ye have not enough;

ye drink,

but

ye are not filled

with drink;

ye clothe you,

but there is none warm;

and he

that earneth

wages

earneth

wages

to put it

into a bag

with holes.

(top)

HAG 1:7

(top)

Thus saith

the LORD

of hosts;

Consider your ways.

(top)

HAG 1:8

(top)

Go up to

the mountain,

and bring wood,

and build

the house;

and

I will take pleasure in it,

and

I will be glorified,

saith the LORD.

(top)

HAG 1:9

(top)

Ye looked for much,

and,

lo it

came

to little;

and when ye

brought

it home,

I did blow

upon it.

Why?

saith the LORD

of hosts.

Because of mine

house

that is waste,

and

ye run every man

unto his own house.

(top)

HAG 1:10

(top)

Therefore the heaven

over you

is stayed

from dew,

and the earth

is stayed

from her fruit.

(top)

HAG 1:11

(top)

And I

called for

a drought

upon the land,

and

upon the mountains,

and

upon the corn,

and

upon the new wine,

and upon the oil,

and upon that

which the ground

bringeth forth,

and upon men,

and upon cattle,

and

upon all

the labour

of the hands.

(top)

HAG 1:12

(top)

Then Zerubbabel

the son

of Shealtiel,

and Joshua

the son

of Josedech,

the high priest,

with all

the remnant

of the people,

obeyed the voice

of the LORD their God,

and the words

of Haggai the prophet,

as the LORD

their God

had sent him,

and the people

did fear

before the LORD.

(top)

HAG 1:13

(top)

Then spake Haggai

the LORD's messenger

in the LORD's message

unto the people,

saying,

I am with you,

saith the LORD.

(top)

HAG 1:14

(top)

And the LORD

stirred

up the spirit

of Zerubbabel

the son

of Shealtiel,

governor

of Judah,

and the spirit

of Joshua

the son

of Josedech,

the high priest,

and the spirit

of all the remnant

of the people;

and

they came

and did work

in the house

of the LORD

of hosts,

their God,

(top)

HAG 1:15

(top)

In the four

and twentieth day

of the sixth month,

in the second year

of Darius the king.

(top)

Chapter 2

(top)

HAG 2:1

(top)

In the seventh month,

in the one

and twentieth day

of the month,

came the word

of the LORD

by the prophet Haggai,

saying,

(top)

HAG 2:2

(top)

Speak now

to Zerubbabel

the son

of Shealtiel,

governor

of Judah,

and

to Joshua

the son

of Josedech,

the high priest,

and

to the residue

of the people,

saying,

(top)

HAG 2:3

(top)

Who is left

among you

that saw this house

in her

first glory?

and how do

ye see it now?

is it

not in your eyes

in comparison of it

as nothing?

(top)

HAG 2:4

(top)

Yet now be strong,

O Zerubbabel,

saith the LORD;

and be strong,

O Joshua,

son of Josedech,

the high priest;

and be strong,

all

ye people

of the land,

saith the LORD,

and work:

for I

am with you,

saith the LORD

of hosts:

(top)

HAG 2:5

(top)

According to the word

that I covenanted

with you

when

ye came out of Egypt,

so my spirit

remaineth among you:

fear ye not.

(top)

HAG 2:6

(top)

For thus

saith the LORD

of hosts;

Yet once,

it is a little while,

and

I will shake

the heavens,

and the earth,

and the sea,

and the dry land;

(top)

HAG 2:7

(top)

And

I will shake

all nations,

and the desire

of all nations

shall come:

and I

will fill

this house

with glory,

saith the LORD

of hosts.

(top)

HAG 2:8

(top)

The silver

is mine,

and the gold

is mine,

saith the LORD

of hosts.

(top)

HAG 2:9

(top)

The glory

of this latter house

shall be greater than

of the former,

saith the LORD

of hosts:

and in this place

will

I give peace,

saith the LORD

of hosts.

(top)

HAG 2:10

(top)

In the four

and twentieth day

of the ninth month,

in the second year

of Darius,

came the word

of the LORD

by Haggai the prophet,

saying,

(top)

HAG 2:11

(top)

Thus

saith

the LORD

of hosts;

Ask

now the priests

concerning the law,

saying,

(top)

HAG 2:12

(top)

If one bear holy flesh

in the skirt

of his garment,

and

with his skirt

do touch bread,

or pottage,

or wine,

or oil,

or any meat,

shall

it be holy?

And the priests

answered

and said,

No.

(top)

HAG 2:13

(top)

Then said Haggai,

If one

that is unclean

by a dead body touch any

of these,

shall

it be unclean?

And the priests

answered

and said,

It shall be unclean.

(top)

HAG 2:14

(top)

Then answered

Haggai,

and said,

So is this people,

and so

is this nation

before me,

saith the LORD;

and so

is every

work

of their hands;

and

that which

they offer

there is unclean.

(top)

HAG 2:15

(top)

And now,

I pray you,

consider

from this day

and upward,

from before a stone

was laid upon a stone

in the temple

of the LORD:

(top)

HAG 2:16

(top)

Since those days were,

when one

came to an heap

of twenty measures,

there were

but ten:

when one

came

to the pressfat

for to draw

out fifty vessels

out of the press,

there were but twenty.

(top)

HAG 2:17

(top)

I smote you

with blasting and

with mildew and

with hail

in all the labours

of your hands;

yet

ye turned not to me,

saith the LORD.

(top)

HAG 2:18

(top)

Consider now

from this day

and upward,

from the four

and twentieth day

of the ninth month,

even from the day

that

the foundation

of the LORD's temple

was laid,

consider it.

(top)

HAG 2:19

(top)

Is the seed

yet in the barn?

yea,

as yet the vine,

and the fig tree,

and the pomegranate,

and the olive tree,

hath not brought forth:

from this day

will

I bless you.

(top)

HAG 2:20

(top)

And

again

the word

of the LORD

came

unto Haggai

in the four

and twentieth day

of the month,

saying,

(top)

HAG 2:21

(top)

Speak

to Zerubbabel,

governor

of Judah,

saying,

I will shake

the heavens

and the earth;

(top)

HAG 2:22

(top)

And

I will overthrow

the throne

of kingdoms,

and

I will destroy

the strength

of the kingdoms

of the heathen;

and

I will overthrow

the chariots,

and

those that ride

in them;

and the horses

and their riders

shall come down,

every one

by the sword

of his brother.

(top)

HAG 2:23

(top)

In that day,

saith the LORD

of hosts,

will

I take thee,

O Zerubbabel,

my servant,

the son

of Shealtiel,

saith the LORD,

and will make thee

as a signet:

for I

have chosen thee,

saith the LORD

of hosts.
